I still love it so much! It’s a great introduction to a new trilogy and era of Star Wars and it’s a perfect blend of old and new for everyone. I remember what it was like seeing it for the first time, it was the most amazing and fun theater experience I’ve ever had.

10. Pokémon: Detective Pikachu
-
Talk about a trailer that came out of nowhere and nearly set the whole world ablaze. Personally, I thought this was the most pleasantly surprising and wonderful trailer I’ve seen all year. As someone who grew up loving Pokémon, I’ve always wanted a live-action movie that explored this world. And it’s finally happening. A movie based on Detective Pikachu voiced by Deadpool. 2019 is going to be something else…

9. Star Wars: Episode 9
-
The Force Awakens was a great adventure that got us all excited for Star Wars again. It gave us new characters to care for Kylo Ren, Rey, Finn, and Poe all won me over. Unfortunately, I didnt love The Last Jedi. I didnt hate it like a lot of people did. But it felt like lost potential to be quite honest. However, one thing it did leave me with is no idea what Episode 9 will. The series could go in any direction, and that’s exciting. I’m really trying to get pumped for Star Wars again, guys because I truly love this world. J.J. Abrams is a very talented director and is the right man for the job to end off this sequel trilogy on a high point. Here’s hoping for a Hayden Christensen force ghost cameo.

8. Uncut Gems
-
All I need to know about this movie is that it stars Adam Sandler and is directed by the Safdie Brothers. That’s it. Good Time was one of my favorite movies of 2017 and it instantly put this directing-dynamic-duo on my radar. I loved Sandler in a number of comedies back in the day, but recently it’s his more dramatic turn as an actor that’s intrigued me. A movie like The Meyerowitz Stories made me remember just how great of an actor he can be when given a competent script. With Uncut Gems, I’m hoping we get the same Adam Sandler we got from PTA’s Punch-Drunk Love. Safdie Brothers, show us what you got!

** A NEW ALIAS EVERY DAY **
.
Episode 2.03 - Cipher
.
Alias: Joanna Kelley from Euro-Teledyne Corporation
.
Location: Sri Lanka
.
Mission: Sydney was sent in to infiltrate the launch site, posing as a corporate buyer, and the install an SD-6 circuit board on the satellite to learn what Sark was looking for when the camera was sent into orbit. Sydney gave Dixon access to the computers by calling him through a landline while in the building. He then hacked into the security surveillance feed and cut it for 5 minutes during the launch.
.
Sydney tranquilized her guide and entered the launch site via a street luge through the two-mile-long exhaust ducts. She had to clear the area before the launch, otherwise the flame from the rocket thrusters woulf kill her.
.
Suslicious due to the fact that the video system was experiencing a glitch, Sark ordered the launch to be moved up. Sydney barely had time to hook up the circuit board and escape on the luge as a ball of fire chased her.

December 18th, 2015
Star Wars: The Force Awakens premieres in theaters in the top spot with a $247.9 million opening weekend, the second biggest opening weekend ever behind Avengers: Infinity War. It would stay #1 for three more weeks before falling to Ride Along 2 and The Revenant. The film was announced soon after Disney acquired Lucasfilm in 2012 for $2.2 billion in cash and $1.8 billion in stock. It was released 32 years after Return of the Jedi. On a budget of $245 million, it would earn $936.6 million domestically (and another $1.1 billion overseas), easily becoming the highest grossing film domestically of all time and third behind Avatar and Titanic in worldwide gross.

10 years ago today, #majelbarrettroddenberry passed away ... and my job as her Personal Assistant came to a screeching halt. Present day my life is unrecognizable to the life I once lived in Bel Air and Hollywood. What I knew for sure when I moved back to NYC, was that I wanted a little piece of Manhattan for myself. I worked my ass off for my Hells Kitchen apartment and I achieved my goal. The photo above was taken by me on the set of #startrek the motion picture spring 2008 JJ Abrams and my former employer and friend. RIP Majel, thank you for seven fearless years. Love you. #badrobot#jjabrams@bad_robot#generoddenberry

Happy 3rd Anniversary to #starwarstheforceawakens the first chapter of the #starwarssequeltrilogy which takes place 30 years after the fall of the Galactic Empire seen in #returnofthejedi . The film which was directed by #jjabrams also introduced various new characters #reystarwars#finnstarwars#poedameron#bb8#mazkanata#kyloren (revealed to be the son of #hansolo#leiaorgana who fell to the dark side) #generalhux#captainphasma (the first female Stormtrooper in chrome armor, and the tallest one too) #supremeleadersnoke (we still dont know who the hell he really is!!!). The film is notable for the last appearance of Han Solo who was killed by his own son, and enraged #chewbacca to the point that he fired a bowcaster shot at Kylos gut. Other returning characters include #c3po#r2d2#lukeskywalker who only appeared at the very end of the film, and whose disappearance was the main driving point of the film. #kennybaker who portrayed the astromech droid was severely ill at the time and acted as consultant to Jimmy Vee who took over the role; he passed away in August 2017. #petermayhew who played Chewie in the Original Trilogy, Episode 3 and 7 retired and was succeeded by #joonassuotamo . As for #carriefisher who played Leia in the OT... well she did reprise her role as Leia one final time in Episode VIII, before passing away in Dec 2016.
Today also marks the birthday of #rianjohnson director and screenwriter of Episode VIII #starwarsthelastjedi which was a commercial and critical success at the box office, yet had some longtime SW fans divided over the humor and lack of development for some characters.

Overlord:
-
Came into this thinking it would be a world war 2 zombie movie but it is more of a gritty gory take on nazi experiments at the time. I didn’t really interpret any of them as zombies to be honest and was pleasantly surprised by that. An underdog cast with no big names kept me into it. Nothing too special but a quality watch.
-
Overall: 73/100

Outlaw King:
-
Major potential with the landscape and storyline. Beautiful shots of the scottish lands and massive sets made it easy to get through but the story fell flat. It seemed heavily edited after its poor reception at TIFF, which made it feel choppy and uninspired. A good effort but not the epic it set out to be.
-
Overall: 58/100
-
Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald: -
Plot holes galore. The movie being called Fantastic Beasts was comical for this sequel because they tossed these creatures in just to connect to the title. Definitely the messiest film in the Harry Potter universe but still a ‘fun’ movie.
-
Overall: 54/100
-
Crazy Rich Asians:
-
This felt like a Life Time movie with a bigger budget. An important movie for the representation of asians in hollywood but not a particularly highbrow film. The jokes were mostly dead but their was a lot of very beautiful scenes of the lavish lifestyle shown because of how disgustingly rich those people are i guess🤷‍♂️
-
Overall: 60/100
-
Creed II:
-
Ryan Coogler’s absence in this movie was extremely apparent in the fighting scenes and writing scheme. A lot of dumb motivational shit that is often associated with the ‘Rocky’ franchise. The middle act was good when Adonis went through a bout of depression, Michael B. Jordan was a definite force in this particular moment, but went back to being ridiculous by the end. Disappointing considering how much I enjoyed Creed.
-
Overall: 50/100
-
The Mule:
-
A good story and a great performance by Clint Eastwood. Some will hate on him for the character being somewhat ignorant but it felt more realistic this way. A lot of unneccesaey scenes though and really useless and ridiculous political humour and commentary. Still a decent watch.

Overall: 70/100
